Regarding bids I suspect the SCal bids in DEN will go very senior while the SUAL bids in IAH will go relatively junior. I think the TDY A320 IAH flying will go senior.
Actually I think ORD will be easily filled as well....even if by all UAL pilots from the bottom of the list. I cannot believe we will get to a situation for DEN and ORD where we have to volunteer for TDY or have involuntary assignments there. We have how many at the bottom of the CAL seniority list now who are furloughed L-UAL pilots? I would think that if not one CAL pilot bids the 140 positions available at these two bases that 140 UAL pilots at the bottom wouldn't get these positions if they put them on their bid choices.

I'll flat out say right now that I've updated my standing bid screen to show DEN/ORD CA and FO slots as my next to last choices...right above GUM CA/FO. Won't be an issue on this bid, but family obligations rules out GUM for many of us.

Any LCA's on this board care to respond?

Why are LCA's still volunteering their services?

Simple question I asked 8 years ago:
What is my union doing to save my job?
